Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)
-
I find if they r spaced too far apart that the make ur arse look wider than it is. Thats not a good look
-
two totally different animals. Too hard to pass a judgement. I'd vote for IH though. Maybe PBJ has a teeny weeny bit more stylishness with their deep blue models but the denim fabric of the IH is much heavier, feels much more than 1oz heavier, and I truly wonder if PBJ is really at 24oz.

The colour of my XX-009s is astonishing… They do stretch reàlly easily, though... When they arrived, I thought 'How the féck am I gonna get in these?.." But I pulled the waist a bit and was able to MANUALLY stretch them, bit like a pair of sweatpants haha... Anyhow... They were a bit snug at first but perfect right now... The feel of the denim is quite intense as well... I'm sure these will fade like no other... Tremendously happy with this purchase...
Too bad I won't be wearing it a lot until next spring

I don't think you can compare two heavy weights. IH vs. PBJ is comparing something like Android and iOS. It just can't be compared. They are both amazing brands with amazing products.
PBJ xx-005 tts sz 29.
Just received them today from a trade with decades777 (excellent trader). Always wanted a pair of PBJ's never thought of owning these though always thought of owning a pair of deep indigos those will be next though.
Anyways here is the fit sorry for the horrible expression, I have tons of homework, PSATs, SATs, and im sick but w/e.
I'll get a proper WAYWT up soon.
The denim is great on these! I initially bought these thinking they were going to be more of a full cut but when I got them and realized they are actually slim that made me a bit more happy. These also remind me of a lightweight slubbier version of my S500JX-LRs. Actually they almost look like the same denim.

Yeah mine are supposedly tapered down the knee but can't say I can tell… Plus they stretch, and stretch, and keep stretching... And not just in the waist... Also the rise is too low... Especially now with the hip flares and all that...
Great fabric, but I wished a decent brand would be allowed to make a jeans out of it
-
I also love PBJ for their fabrics, but the cuts are not my cup of tea. Too low rise and skinny, I don't think I could squeeze my thighs in, and I'm not that fat… So, seul, your thighs stretched too?
-
Tried on the 005 at Daniel's. Also not made for me. From BiG's measurements the 003 would be best for me I think
-
I have found that these are stretchy (005) but they don't actually stretch, only when you wear them the stretch. B_f, you could have asked me and I could have told you these weren't for you xD. These are probably just as skinny as my 666ODs. If I went one more size down I would be in a skin tight fit. But I love the fit of mine.
-
The strike gold 14oz denim seems to look similar to the 005 denim, and they've got a decent selection of cuts too. You could take a look at those if you don't like the pbj cuts
-
I think I could've downsized to a 30 - honestly…
Sucks that they have not been ideal for ya Belgium.
I've been reading the sufu pbj thread a bit recently, it seems that everyone does size down A LOT with PBJ's for this reason I guess… Or because pbj people want to have drain pipe legs!? :p
I'm TTS32, and in the raw xx-011's I only sized down one to 31. They are slim fit, but not skinny, so I've not suffered from much stretch as they were never brutally tight, post initial cold soak I could do up all the buttons straight away no problem. If I want a super fitted look I could have easily went down to the raw 30... Just would have had sore baws and thighs for a few weeks!
I don't though, so when I get my NC-011's in raw i'll stick with the 31's.

Only went with PBJ for the denim. And for that reason I'm not thàt bothered by them having stretched, cause I wanna see them bleed and fade… For the perfect cut jeans I have my 634S and 9634Z...
Waistwise my tagged 32s now measure close or even slightly over 34"... So they're loose on me... Thighs and knee area have stretched quite a lot as well... I know they're lighter weight jeans but my ALD Prescott darktones never stretched more than half an inch anywhere... Aaahhh well... C'est la vie... Just wondering whether the 24 oz. models also suffer from this?..

what size do you wear in the 634s? curious because ive been looking at pbj, specifically the 007 and 009 cuts, and was thinking maybe size up one based off of the big measurements. im not looking for a fit any slimmer than the 634s tts
